She enjoyed cooking, baking, gardening, journaling, and staying connected through social media. Jay had a big heart and a great sense of humor; her house was always open to her children's friends.

Pleasant; her grandsons, Joseph Roadman (Jennifer) and Patrick Showman (Emily); her great-grandchildren, Lukas and Avery Showman, and Joey and Brooklyn Roadman; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Peter P. Skero, in 2006; her sons-in-law, Richard Showman and Joseph Roadman; and her sister, Janet Lawson. In honoring Jay's wishes, a celebration of life will be held at a later date. All arrangements have been entrusted to GALONE-CARUSO FUNERAL HOME INC., Mt. Pleasant.
